Cell exfoliation in the human colon: Myth, reality and implications for colorectal cancer screening

9 Mar 2007

Abstract excerpt

Colonocyte exfoliation in the human colon constitutes a unique mechanism of cell population control that can undergo significant changes under different physiological and pathological conditions. Being closely related to the apoptosis and anoikis, cell exfoliation from colonic epithelium appears to be a relatively rare event in normal conditions, but its rate dramatically increases in neoplasia, when cell removal...
